Who do I trust?

Psalm 71:1 "In You, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion." 

We are living in a time where it is so easy to get an unwanted opinion. Dr. Phil has something to say. Oprah wants us to ask Iyanla to fix our lives. Chris Brown wants us to believe that women are no longer loyal. The media portrays a police officer doing his job in Ferguson when he obviously committed murder. All of this can be very overwhelming. When I was growing up, which wasn't that long ago, did not have as many influences. There are so many occurrences in this era of life that makes people question who to trust or what to trust. So the scriptures states, "In You Oh Lord do I put my trust..."

If we are trusting God, our wisdom will increase. How? Well, in order to trust someone we must know enough about them to relinquish such respect and high regard. Naturally we can't trust someone we know nothing about or that we feel is not deserving of such honor. Would you trust a mechanic with your life savings? Or perhaps an accountant with changing your oil? No, you will trust the person who is suited and well knowledgeable about the job at hand. So, why are we so untrusting when it comes to God? Has He not shown Himself worthy of ALL of our trust? Not only has He created our lives, but sacrificed His Seat in Heaven to not just live among us, but like us. He felt what we feel now, the hurt, pain, joy, and sorrow that life comes with day to day. How can we not trust The ONLY Person Who has our back TOTALLY. How much does God have to do to gain our trust? He saved us from hell, HELL, yet we doubt how our bills will get paid, when will we get a promotion, just insert your doubts that you have. God IS taking care of you, me, us. It may not seem like He is because of what was said at the latter end of the verse, confusion.

I personally hate confusion. It is a toxic spirit that can cause havoc in families, churches, friendships, and relationships. There have been deadly misunderstandings because of the spirit of confusion. What has confusion done in your life? Has it helped any? I'm pretty sure the answer is a big fat, NO. Confusion creeps in when trouble begins. It is satan's go to tactic. If Eve was trusting God like she was suppose to, satan couldn't have confused her like he did and Eve would not have confused Adam which led to life as we know it now until Jesus returns. See how deadly confusion can be and what not trusting God can do? Satan confused them right out of perfection. What is he talking you out of? Is he talking you out of your faith? You were bought with a Price. Your faith is not built on "happy days" but The Blood of Jesus. If The Son of God suffered, how do you expect to live life squeaky clean? He already saved us from hell. What more can we ask for or doubt God for? He said He will never forsake us. David said, He has never seen God's people forsaken. I know I haven't seen God turn His back on His people in my short years on this earth. Even when I wasn't living for Him, He was loving me which I'm sure He did for you. If He loved you when you were a sinner, how much more as His child? So be free from confusion. I don't care what bad news you received this week or in general, God is still the same. Since He is still the same, our trust should not waver but increase. How does it increase? By getting in The Word and communing with Him. Don't just depend on the pastor, mid week Bible study, or this blog. Search the scriptures for yourself because I can very well make a mistake, but His Word is Perfect and Sure each time. It's #FreedomFriday  Enjoy your weekend and keep trusting in God. It'll pay off after while.
